I wasn't absolutely sure that it is a clang problem. However, I did a
check now on the same libvirt revision and on the same system with
different clang versions and figured out that things work fine with:

clang version 3.4.2 (tags/RELEASE_34/dot2-final)

but start breaking on:

clang version 3.5.2 (tags/RELEASE_352/final)

So it indeed makes sense to ask clang developers what's going on; will
do that.

I'll also try to figure out how to rewrite virshtest.c to quite
stack-allocation.

Thanks for the feedback!
